What If The TMNT Were A Rock Opera?
 

I actually think this might be a good idea. I've got 3 basic set-ups so far, and would love (if you're as bored as me!) to hear your ideas on which one would be the best:

The Shell: This would be like Pink Floyd's The Wall. The turtles are bitter and jaded toward the outside world, which forces them to scrounge for change to buy pizza. And the pizza guy always gives them grief! What a horrible world we live in.

Casey: This would be like The Who's Tommy, only it would focus on a certain fellow named Casey Jones. Casey was born a deaf, dumb, blind kid who can only see JUSTICE. The plot revolves around different people trying to take advantage of his obsession with JUSTICE, and how he deals with people in black & white, or maybe shades of grey.

Ninjaphenia: This would like The Who's Quadrophenia, which is pretty much the best rock record ever :). The set-up would be the Turtles versus the Foot, which would work really nicely with the music, as the original was about punks and mods. Songs like "The Punk And The Godfather" could easily be retrofitted to be about Raphael meeting the Shredder (or maybe Casey meeting the Shredder?).

Anyways, what do you all think? And be honest! :D

How about...

The Green Album - Based off The Beatles' White Album... Four Turtles living in a world full of protest, war, and a search for individuality... The opera ends with Leonardo and Raphael (Paul and John) getting into a beef because Raph's girlfriend Ninjara (Ono) keeps putting her two cents into everything... So they split and then Raph gets assisnated, Leo has an amazing solo career, Mikey (Ringo) starts acting on a show with talking trains, and Don's (George) wife gets wrapped up with Casey Jones (Eric Clapton) and leaves him...

It would be very dramatic... If you can picture it...

With Quadrophenia being one've my favourite movies ever, i'd have to go for Ninjaphenia.

"We Are The Ninj', We Are The Ninj', We Are We Are We Are The Ninj'."

Ninpo: The Mutation Opera?

Just when I thought you were randomness only... ^_^
I say Ninjaphenia. I've never seen/heard quadrophenia (or any of those other rock operas), but I think only the hardest of the hardcores would care for those other two parodies you came up with.

If it was just a musical we could have Dr. Donatello's sing along blog.

THESE ARE ALL SO GREAT. BUT MY VOTE NOW IS FOR THE GREEN ALBUM!

That is SUCH a good idea! Could you imagine the Turtles version of "Yellow Submarine?"

We all live in a dirty, grimy sewer,
Dirty grimy sewer,
A dirty grimy sewer!

It is brilliant! I HOPE YOU'RE READING THIS, NICKELODEON. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE IN THE FUTURE!!!111

Sewer Sub
 

Or "We all live in a green, green Sewer Sub"
